Chardonnay is grown on a variety of blocks on the western, coolest portion of our Regenerative Organic Certified Rhinefarm Estate vineyard. The average vine age is 30 years old, and there are a variety of legacy clones we work with, including one that was imported from Burgundy in the 1950s and is proprietary to the Bundschu family. All of our Chardonnay grows in the lower portion of the vineyard, a section that sits literally across the street from the Carneros appellation border and shares the cooling benefits of the fog from San Pablo Bay and the Petaluma Gap. The clay-loam vineyard has a substratum of gravel, which is unusual for the area and lends itself to the quintessential fresh mineral character of our Chardonnay.
